Need a funnels expert, not one that's familiar to me. Scandinavian at a guess.

Nothing matching in Browns Flags and Funnels for 1971 or 1982 or A Survey of Mercantile Houseflags and Funnels.
Also drew a blank in Nordiske skorsteinsmerker og rederiflagg which covers Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland.
Sorry.

The seemingly uplifted bow and gear remind me of the French-built Buries Markes ships, but the accomm. is sadly different.

Well there you are, from the La Seyne yard and sister to LA's ESTANCIA, SIERRA, PRIMAVERA and HORTENSIA of Buries Markes.
